The Capital Region Farmers Market’s ‘Away Game’ will be held at GIO Stadium in Bruce this coming Saturday, 25 November.
The Market is taking a huge range of its farmers, producers, makers, and their fresh produce to the stadium to accommodate the Spilt Milk Festival (at EPIC). And organisers are confident the Market will really showcase the best summer produce and festive foods to the residents of Belconnen and surrounds.
“Summer is just over a week away, and our producers are really bringing in their best and freshest for Canberrans to feast on at this time of year,” says Capital Region Farmers Market Manager, Sarah Power.
“Cherry season has come early this year, and they’re so super sweet, tasty and ripe right now. We’ve got cherries in abundance from our friends at Drive In Orchards, Hill Lock Orchards, and Jafries Produce, to name just a few,” Sarah says.
“And there’s loads of new summer stone fruit, too, with peaches, nectarines and apricots from Willayoung Orchard and Harrison & Sons in Araluen. They’re so delicious and ready to take home and fill your fruit bowls,” Sarah smiles.
This year’s Away Game will also offer a great range of Christmas produce, such as free-range pork, hams, poultry and smallgoods.
“Sweet lovers will enjoy all the sweet treats of the season with fruit mince tarts and puddings, dairy, and other bakery treats.
“And if it’s seafood you’re seeking, we have plenty of fresh seafood direct from the South Coast, including mouth-watering oysters,” Sarah says.
It wouldn’t be the Capital Region Farmers Market without plenty of fresh vegetables, including many organic varieties. The Market will also include several plant and flower growers with a great range of vegetable seedlings and potted colour.
Away Game will feature live musicians and entertainment, including a live puppet show, as well as face painting and badge making for the kids, making it an enjoyable Saturday morning activity for families.
Capital Region Farmers Market Away Game will be held on Saturday 25 November 7–11.30am at GIO Stadium in Bruce. The Market will return to its regular location at Exhibition Park in Canberra the following Saturday, 2 December, with the last Market of 2023 on Saturday 23 December.
